I’m now wondering if I’m right or wrong in that assumption?" Why would you think that? The shop ATMs are obviously further outside the banks' control. They're indoors in arbitrary locations, not, for example, on a public street on the side of a bank. Also, those machines apparently issue undefined charges... in the UK and US, it's up to about a tenner on some petrol station ATMs. So I'd stick to the more official ones! “I normally use ATM machines in shops because I believe they’d be harder to interfere with?
